When I Have Money I Am Valued When I Dont Im a Stranger I Am a Migrant and These Are My Feelings.
I am a migrant leaving behind my country my land my childhood memories I came abroad only so I can do something for my loved ones. Life here is not easy every day from morning to night its hard work sweating jobs coming home with a tired body I do it all just to bring smiles to my familys faces. The life of a migrant is like a kind of battle here nothing comes without effort to earn every single dollar takes endless patience and sacrifice. Still the heart stays strong because I feel I am doing it for my own people when I have money in my hands. Then it feels like I am everyones favorite person friend relative acquaintance many call check on me.
Some old friends suddenly remember my number, they say Brother its been a long time after hearing some of their words I realize the real reason for the call money. Some directly say Brother I need some money since youre there I thought Id ask some others say indirectly Brother times are tough. let’s see what can be done I help as much as I can because I believe if I can do something good for someone thats my biggest joy. Many times I put my own needs behind just so their needs can be met their smile fills my heart but when I dont have money in my hands. Then everything changes the calls become fewer many speak coldly those friends who used to call every day no longer check in. Many relatives make excuses and move away as if I no longer have any value to them.
The deepest pain comes when those I helped with my very last dont stand beside me during my hard times then I understand. Their love or friendship was never for me it was for my money this experience changed me from the inside. Ive realized many relationships change with money peoples true faces show when you have nothing to give. If you have money, everyone likes you if not you become unnecessary to them living this migrant life has taught me many things. Ive learned those who are truly yours will stay with you whether you have money or not they will understand your pain.
They will show sympathy for your situation and those who only wanted your benefit will slowly drift away on their own. Now I know money can buy many things good clothes good food a beautiful house but real love trust and sincerity cannot be bought with money. Today Ive made a rule for my life I will help as much as I can but I wont expect anything in return. Because when you expect the pain increases I will give my heart only to those who are ready to hold my hand even when it is empty Im sharing this for one reason only.
Many people will be around you smiling praising you staying close but remember not all are sincere time and situation reveal people’s true faces. This bitter experience of migrant life has made me strong I no longer blindly trust everyone like before but still I know how to give love. Because I know one day those who are truly sincere will be the greatest treasures of my life money will go and come again but if real relationships are lost. They never come back so Ive learned the heart of a person and self-respect are greater than money even today. I am working hard abroad but not just for money anymore to prove myself to protect my self-respect.
